Cooked Shrimp as bait?

[lcshtsm]

Anyone ever use this as bait on a tipup?  I have been known to catch a few steelhead and Coho on this during the softwater season around lake michigan.  Didn't know if pike, catfish, or anything else would bite on them?

We use raw shrimp around here for lots of fish, perch, Walleye, pike on tipups. Never heard of using cooked though.

I use cooked extra small cocktail shrimp all the time for 'gills and perch.(in the small "Tuna" type cans) Problem is, when it's slow, I end up eating all of it...
Raw is better, though, has more smell.

Cooked shrimp wont work as good as raw..

I just buy those frozen shrimp rings, take a few out, thaw them, cut them into chunks depends on what I am fishing for smaller for perch larger for Pike on tipups, the rest goes back in the freezer for the next trip, works great cheap bait and last a long time.

Raw shrimp, trout really go for it. Cat fish, I would think pike etc... would too.
Never tyred cooked.

If cooked shrimp works good for you fine.  I'll stick with the uncooked kind and its also great for Cats in the summer.  If it was the breaded kind I'm afraid I'd be cooking them over my Buddy heater.

New idea for me.  I'll definitely be trying it this winter.  Now with the raw shrimp do you peel it or leave the shell on?  I would think with the shell it would resemble a crayfish.  I have a fish market where I can buy them whole (head and all).

works good on smelts and have got trout jigging w/small lures w/ it.

I slide the shrimp on a lead-head jig, and sometimes tip with a tiny twister tail.
